"Our Tang family has been loyal to King Faxlot for generations. The strongest member of the family has always been a knight of the king's guard. I hope you will not slack off. Sooner or later, the position of knight of the guard will be yours." A blue-haired man said.
The middle-aged man said to the dozen boys in front of him who probably only exceeded a hundred in total.
These boys are all direct bloodlines of the Tang family. As the king's relatives and knights, their family's power is not allowed to be too high, and they rely on the king of Faxlot to maintain their status.
Once they lose the "favor" of King Faxlot, their status is likely to be in jeopardy.
Therefore, they will conduct strict training on their direct bloodline when they are young.
After all, in addition to being talented in swordsmanship, laying a solid foundation from an early age is also a particularly important part.
A group of boys in the Tang family all used wooden swords, but in order to get them used to long swords from the beginning, they practiced using wooden swords one meter long.
A dozen boys who were not as good as swordsmen were practicing swordsmanship with wooden swords raised high. This scene felt very funny.
Every time these boys wielded the wooden sword, they had to rest for a long time, and during the rest time, they were meditating.
But even if a group of children can really meditate, this time is extremely short-lived, especially when the body is particularly tired after just doing activities.
Once you let your mind wander and meditate, you will probably fall asleep directly.
Nearly half of the dozen boys fell asleep while sitting down, and a small number were trying their best to meditate, but wanted to meditate but did not want to fall asleep. This caused them to have many thoughts and thus they were unable to enter the meditative state at all.
.
However, there are still a few boys who have entered a meditative state, which makes their swordsmanship teacher very satisfied.
But then he used the scabbard to wake up the sleeping boys one by one.
"ah!"
Some boys even cried because they were so stressed.
"Why did you hit me?" a babyish voice asked the teacher.
The middle-aged man glanced at him, and then said nonchalantly: "Al, if you don't like it, I can resist, but I won't show mercy just because you are a junior."
The seven-year-old boy said fiercely: "I will take revenge."
"I'll wait," the middle-aged man said.
Then he continued to say to the boys: "You too, if you want revenge, you can take action now, as long as you can bear the consequences, then continue meditating."
Although Al was very reluctant, he had no other choice in this situation and had no choice but to meditate with the other children.
But for some reason, he fell asleep again during the meditation.
Naturally, another scabbard is inevitable.
The coach was acceptable at first, but gradually his patience with Al was wearing thin.
"It's okay if you failed to meditate in the first month, but look at you now, you still failed to meditate. I really don't know how your brain grew?"
Seeing the teacher cursing at him, Al replied not to be outdone: "This means that I don't have the talent to practice swordsmanship. I want to be a magician, a forbidden magician whose magic can destroy a city."
"Forbidden Curse Magician?" After the teacher heard Al's passionate words, he chuckled first, and then said: "Magicians need to meditate more. With your attitude towards learning, I guarantee that even if you are studying
Magic is also doomed to accomplish nothing."
Al replied: "I will let you know that everything you said about me today is wrong."
"Then I will wait for the day when you become a forbidden magician." The teacher said, and then he seemed to remember something and continued: "By the way, our Tang family does not train magicians. If you want to learn magic, you must first
Find a teacher who specializes in teaching you, okay, do you know where the door is?"
"Huh?" Al snorted and left the place immediately.
Seeing Al leaving, the swordsmanship teacher was not angry. After all, the Tang family were all nobles. They thought they were born superior to others, and this was not the first time he had experienced this.
Moreover, this group of Al is only the first to leave. After that, some unqualified people will be kicked out, and this is an extremely long process.
…
Besides, Al, although he left the sword hall, he still didn't dare to go home like this.
Because he was afraid that his father would break his legs if he found out that he was "expelled from school".
Therefore, Al quietly waited for get out of class to end in the grass not far from the sword hall.
Feeling that time was almost up, he left the grass and returned home.
But he still underestimated the swordsmanship teacher. Not long after he left the sword hall, the family informed him that Al had been eliminated. But how could he know so much at such a young age?
So when he came home, looking at Tang Jerry with a stern face, he said with a guilty conscience: "Father, I'm back. I'm so tired today. I'll go back to my room to rest first."
Jerry didn't respond, and Al didn't think much about it.
After a while, Jerry silently picked up a thin wooden stick from the table nearby and entered Al's room.
A moment later, a heartbreaking cry came out.
The heartbreaking shouting and crying lasted for half an hour.
Looking at Al with his bloody butt, Jerry sighed. He also understood that it was wrong to spank the child, but he also understood that even though he was a noble, but without strength, his status was just a burden to him.
And he was just angry for a moment. Since Al wanted to learn magic, let him learn it.
The next day, Al woke up slowly in pain.
When he woke up, what he saw was Jerry sitting beside the bed. Al was frightened and hurriedly backed away.
But when he retreated, he pressed on the wound, and he cried out again.
Jerry said with a straight face: "Since you want to learn magic, then I will help you."
While he was talking, he took out a book called "Basic Magic Encyclopedia" and a book called "Introduction to Magicians" and placed them on El Ye's bedside.
"Don't you want to be a magician? Take a good look at it while you're recovering from your injuries."
After saying this, Jerry left Al's room.
Then, he called two maids: "Al has injured his muscles and bones, please give him some more tonics."
"Yes!" The two maids nodded in agreement.
After Al lay down in his room for a while, he turned to look at the two books on the bedside, and after a moment of silence, he slowly read through them.
It turns out that there are levels of power in this world. In the past, he only knew the Forbidden Magician who could destroy a city, but there are many levels besides the Forbidden Magician.
If you want to have power, you must have a profession, and those professions are divided into two aspects: "law" and "body".
The magician is a representative type of "law" profession. If you want to become a magician, you must first meditate, and in the process, feel the magic elements between heaven and earth, and choose the magic elements that are compatible with yourself.
Only if you can feel the magic element can you have the prerequisite to become a magician.
Seeing that the prerequisite for becoming a magician was meditation, Al wanted to eat these two books, but he did not do so in the end.
Thinking that he was the one who wanted to become a magician, and that his father had worked so hard to collect books for him, Al finally read these two books patiently.
It's a pity that there are many academic terms in it that he doesn't understand, so he only reads books.
After closing the two books, Al murmured to himself: "How about I still learn swordsmanship?"
At this time, a maid came in carrying tonics.
She asked Al: "Master, I feel like you have something bothering you. Can you tell me about it?"
Al took out "Introduction to Magicians" and said, "I obviously know every word in it, but when you put it all together, why do I have no idea what it means?"
The maid glanced at the cover and then said: "Master, you have worked very hard to be able to read so many words at such a young age. Some nobles at this age may not even know the words."
At such a young age, Al didn't understand the ways of the world at all, and what the maid said couldn't be considered a compliment, she was just telling the truth.
When Al saw the maid praising him, he was extremely happy.
Seeing Al become happy, the maid hurriedly told her the reason for her visit.
"Master, this is the tonic soup I asked me to prepare for you. Drink it while it's hot."
Al was not a mother-in-law. Since his father had asked people to prepare tonics for him, he swallowed the tonics in big gulps for the sake of his own butt.
When the maid saw that Al had drunk the tonic, she was about to pack her things and leave.
Seeing that the maid was about to leave, Al quickly asked her: "Elise, do you know how to maintain a meditative state for a long time?"
Elise is the name of this maid. Since she is a maid, it means that she is a commoner and has no profession.
As a commoner, she was not qualified to come into contact with things of upper class society, including magic, so when Al asked herself, she didn't know how to answer.
Seeing Elise's expression of embarrassment, Al said generously: "Let's take this back and have a look at it, and then come over and report the progress of your practice to me every day."
As he spoke, he handed the book "Introduction to the Magician" to Elise.
Elise held the book in her arms, then bowed to Al and said, "Thank you, Master. I will practice seriously."
Looking at Elise's leaving figure, Al secretly said in his heart: "You must succeed."
Al has no choice. Everyone in the family is a swordsman, so they may not let him learn magic.
When they were in the sword hall before, the swordsmanship teacher only told them what meditation was, but did not elaborate on how to enter the meditative state accurately.
Just imagine, teachers are like this, not to mention other people who are just students.
That's why Al came up with the idea of letting a maid practice magic, and after she achieves some success, she can then pass on all her experiences to him.
Doing this can save you a lot of trouble.
He didn't think much about whether his behavior would cause some trouble.
Of course, this does not mean that he will slack off.
There are many children of the same age as him in the family who are learning swordsmanship. If he gives up practicing, sooner or later he will become a negative teaching material in the family.
Although Al didn't know how to enter the meditative state, he still had some advantages, such as good health and high energy.
Other children would be exhausted after wielding a wooden sword for an hour, but Al could wield it for an hour and a half, and his rest time was much shorter than that of ordinary children.
Since you can't meditate, practice swordsmanship and exercise your body.
As for meditation, we will talk about it later.
Meditation is an extremely important process for comprehending the elements. If you cannot comprehend the elements, you are destined to fail to obtain a position.
…
Jerry was a little worried about Al, so he went home to see Al's current condition.
He was willing to think that Al should meditate and comprehend the magical elements at home at this moment.
Unexpectedly, Al actually waved his sword in the courtyard.
Although he didn’t know why Al didn’t practice magic, but seeing his sweaty appearance, he touched the corners of his slightly moist eyes and said: "When the child grows up, he knows how to work hard. Madam, if you can see this scene
, that would be great."
Afterwards, he left the courtyard humming a brisk tune.
Al was still swinging the wooden sword hard in the yard.
Although he is young, he is also a person who knows good and evil.
He knew very well that there was nothing special about him. He was able to achieve what he was today only because of the shadow of his ancestors.
If he hadn't been born into a count family, he might have been nothing.
Elise also spends an hour every day teaching Al meditation.
At first, Elise knew little about meditation, but gradually, she figured out some rules and taught Al using the rules she figured out.
"Master, the so-called meditation is to empty your mind, think about nothing, and not think about anything." Elise said.
Al asked doubtfully: "If you don't think about anything, wouldn't you just fall asleep?"
"..." Elise didn't know how to explain to Al.
"Master, the meditative state is a little difficult at first, but once you get used to it, you will be in a different state."
"What's the state?" Al quickly asked Elise without waiting for her to finish speaking.
Elise said: "It is a very special state, as if you have turned into an element, playing with the elves of the same element."
Al continued to try as she said, but he couldn't enter the meditative state at all. Once he let himself go, he would fall asleep directly.
Seeing that he was breathing deeply, Elise woke him up again and asked him to start over.
This earnest teaching lasted for more than twenty days. Even though Elise understood it at first, Al did not successfully enter the meditative state once in more than twenty days.
This made her somewhat impatient and impatient.
But Elise knew her status very well. She was just a maid of the Tang family. Even if she was in a bad mood, she did not dare to vent to Al.
Therefore, Elise could only vent her impatience in other ways.
It has been three months since the sword hall started, and the children learning swordsmanship have finally ushered in their favorite period of "holiday".
In order to let these children relax, Jiantang specially gave them a ten-day holiday. During this time, they can go wherever they want to go.
After the ten-day holiday, they will naturally return to the sword hall, so these ten days are destined to be crazy for those children who have been depressed for three months, but Al is not one of them. This chapter has been completed!
